Justice seems to be playing hard to get for those targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James. A second grand jury has now refused to indict her, delivering a sharp rebuff to efforts seemingly driven by political grudges.

A second panel, this time in Alexandria, Virginia, declined to bring charges against James, just a week after a Norfolk grand jury reached the same conclusion, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The case, tied to a property purchase in Norfolk, has been a lightning rod for accusations of political vendetta. Critics see this as a desperate attempt to tarnish a vocal opponent of President Donald Trump, whose legal battles with James over his business dealings have long fueled tensions.

Legal Challenges and Political Motivations

The initial indictments against James and former FBI Director James Comey were tossed out last month by U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie. The judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience, as interim U.S. attorney was legally flawed.

Halligan, who served as a White House staffer earlier this year, was thrust into the role amid pressure from the Trump administration. Her lack of credentials raised eyebrows, suggesting the move prioritized loyalty over competence.

Even after the Justice Department tried again with two separate grand juries, the results were the same. No charges stuck, leaving Attorney General Pam Bondi in an awkward spot after Trump’s public push on Truth Social to target his foes.

Property Deal Under Scrutiny Falls Flat

At the heart of the case against James is a 2020 home purchase in Virginia, where she signed a 'second home rider' promising personal use for at least a year. Prosecutors claimed she rented it out instead, securing favorable loan terms meant for personal residences.

Yet, grand juries in both Norfolk and Alexandria found no grounds to indict. James has denied any wrongdoing, calling the case a politically motivated attack on her record.

Her legal team has been vocal in slamming the persistence of these efforts. Defense attorney Abbe Lowell stated, 'If they continue, undeterred by a court ruling and a grand jury’s rejection of the charges, it will be a shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system.'

Trump’s Public Push and Backlash

Trump’s September Truth Social post, directly addressing Bondi, didn’t mince words about his desire for action. He wrote, 'Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, Leticia???’

That public nudge to pursue his adversaries hasn’t aged well with these legal flops. It fuels the argument that the Justice Department is being wielded as a tool for personal scores rather than impartial enforcement.

Meanwhile, a parallel case against Comey for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020 is hitting similar roadblocks. A federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from accessing key files, further complicating the administration’s aggressive stance.

Questions of Justice and Fair Play

These repeated failures to indict raise serious doubts about the motives behind the cases. When a former personal lawyer with no relevant experience is appointed to spearhead prosecutions, it’s hard to see this as anything but a targeted campaign.

James, who secured a major judgment against Trump’s business practices before it was overturned on appeal, remains a thorn in the side of powerful figures. Yet, grand juries refusing to play along suggest the evidence simply isn’t there, no matter the political pressure.

The rule of law isn’t a suggestion to be bent by tweets or posts on social platforms. As this saga drags on, one can only hope the Justice Department refocuses on genuine accountability, not vendettas dressed up as legal pursuits.
